Tennessee Iris 121/10 Vase

With well over 100 species of iris growing across the globe, Moorcroft has always been spoilt for choice. It is hardly surprising that William, founding father of the old art pottery should have chosen the regal iris to be one of the flowers to have been used in his early work. Moorcroft has turned to the iris for inspiration time and time again, and so too has designer Nicola Slaney.

With its rich purple petals slashed with a deep ochre yellow, an iris caught Nicky’s eye the moment she saw in a Tennessee garden. Only the day before, Nicky had learned about the battle fought between the passion flower and the iris to become the State flower of Tennessee. The iris won and that suited the designer because the Blue Ridge Parkway highway delivered scenic access to the State of Tennessee and its abundance of wild irises.
